From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Hartmann combines a remarkable piece of historical research with a brilliant literary style to tell the grand story of corporate corruption and its consequences for society with the force and readability of a great novel."
—David C. Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World and Agenda for A New Economy
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
—Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
—Eric Utne, Founder, Utne magazine

Yes. It is more important to avoid massive civilian casualties in the Korean theater.

If all we end up with is GOP Lite and Corporate Democrats -- it won't make all that much difference. Less people "Looking Forward" and less people "Taking Impeachment OFF the table"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, turn HARD left or the dem party remains an ineffective joke.
"If all we end up with is GOP Lite and Corporate Democrats -- it won't make all that much difference."
It makes a big difference, especially for those of us who are not white. Does DACA matter? Race relations and discrimination? White evangelical influence?
What about those who are sick? Democrats would have given us universal health care.
One may stick stubbornly to personal ideals - as Paul Ryan does - but it smells like privilege to me. The times are serious, and a practical approach is necessary.
You will never get the government you want.
So true "Democrats" would have given us universal health card. GOP lite and corporate Democrats will give us what we have. What is the definition of doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results. These are the same people who sat on their hands as the Republicans stole 3 Presidential elections, 2000/2004/2016.
And also so true we will NEVER get the government we want under existing conditions.
